The premier book for learning CorelDRAW X3

CD-ROM Edition

DVD-ROM Edition

This is a 750 page ebook featuring full color pages of detailed information on
getting the most from CorelDRAW X3. Not only will you get an illustrated description of how a
feature works, you'll also get more than six hours of multimedia tutorials to help you
fully understand what you've read. This book was fully designed to get the very
most from the PDF format with links to useful Web pages, links to the multimedia
tutorials and links to other related information within the book. Sample files are
provided so that you can work along while reading and
watching. This is the most complete learning tool available for CorelDRAW X3!

A special DVD-ROM edition adds over 4 gigabytes of bonus content! A list of just some of the contents
is listed below. It is well worth the extra money for all the goodies we're including!

After downloading the zip file, unzip the two files to the same folder. Open the PDF file in Adobe Reader (NOT in CorelDRAW!)
and look over the sample pages included. On the third page is a link to the included movie.

We often get asked if the book can be downloaded. No, it is shipped
to you on a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM as the files are much too large for download.

"I've been a Corel user since version 6 and I've learned everything mostly by
trial-and-error and by searching help files. Needless to say, I've had projects
that I've spent a whole day trying to do. Along the way, I've missed opportunities
to become more efficient because I didn't get formal training and I didn't buy a
book...until now. This book is great. It has all the best information on tools I
THOUGHT I knew how to use. I honestly thought that I would only need about 10% of
what this book had to offer. After all, I'm a long-time, experienced user who just
wanted to fill in the gaps. After reading this book, I have more than DOUBLED my
knowledge and it was an easy read. Thanks Foster!"—Heidi H.

"The CD is a must for any CorelDRAW X3 user wishing to expand
their skill set. CorelDRAW X3 is covered from top to bottom with
easy to follow instructions and over 6 hours of video re-enforcement.
The keyword search capability will put you on topic in seconds.
What an amazing learning tool! This software is the key to learning
this great new version."—Craig Mertens

"I have CorelDraw 12 Unleashed & it is by FAR the best money I have ever spent
on any kind of tutorial or class. The video's are just as if you are in a
class with a teacher, with the added bonus of being able to watch them again
if you missed a step. I am a visual/hands on learner so these are far
better for me than a book."—Liz

CorelDRAW X3 Unleashed Frequently Asked Questions

Why not buy a printed version of a CorelDRAW 12 book?

The most obvious reason not to buy a book covering an older
version of CorelDRAW is that you miss all of the new features
in CorelDRAW X3. Any information on features like text formatting,
Fit Text to Path and CorelTRACE (now Corel PowerTRACE) would be
wrong as those features were drastically changed.

Does this book require a computer?

Yes, you do need a computer to open this book. Last we checked, you also
need a computer to run CorelDRAW. :) If someone wants a copy
in print, they are welcome to print the book. That just means you
miss out on all the benefits of having an electronic book.
Below are a few things you'd miss.

The ability to search for any word. No need to rely on an index. Just
type in what you want to learn about and you'll be taken to that page.

The ability to not only read about a feature, but watch six and a half
hours of movies on CorelDRAW X3. Sorry, no movies with a printed book.

Every page is in color. Printed books have a small color insert.

Hyperlinks to other chapters and to relevant information on the Web.
Printed books say go to page xxx or visit sitename.com

Do you offer a printed version of CorelDRAW X3 Unleashed?

No, it is an ebook. The printing costs would be around $100 for a book of
this size in full color. And the reader would lose out on all the benefits
described in the previous answer.

Why does this book cost more than a printed book if there are no printing costs?

Let's do some evaluation on price. For several versions, Foster worked
with a company that made videotapes teaching software. Their pricing was
around $60 for each two hour videotape. We give you six and a half hours
for $10 less than that. Plus you get 750+ pages of written material.
